Bumping _SC_GET*_R_SIZE_MAX to 4096?

Over the years I've seen requests to bump
the _SC_GET*_R_SIZE_MAX constant from 1024
to 4096. Apparently there are systems where
the smaller buffer always forces a reallocation
and I'm told that Mac OSX already uses 4096
for these constants.

Are there any implications, other than increased
application memory usage?

Cheers,
Carlos.
